Washington Wizards owner, Abe Pollin, passed away at his home in the Washington suburb of Bethesda, Maryland this afternoon, Washington Sports & Entertainment said in a statement. He was 85. Since becoming owners in 1964, Pollin and his wife Irene are the longest-tenured owners in the NBA.

Merriman was arrested early Sept. 6 after reality personality Tila Tequila (whose real name is Tila Nguyen) accused him of choking and throwing her while she was at his Poway home. Tequila signed a citizen’s arrest warrant accusing Merriman of battery and false imprisonment.

The Chargers star, 25, said he was trying to prevent Tila from leaving because she was too drunk to drive back to her home in Los Angeles. Tequila’s attorney called that explanation a “spin” — albeit one the D.A.’s Office found satisfactory. The San Diego District Attorney declined to prosecute the case, infuriating the pint-sized MySpace pinup.

In the complaint filed in San Diego County Tuesday, the former star of MTV’s A Shot At Love…..accuses the NFL star of assault and included photographs exhibiting bruises as evidence. Tila’s lawyer stresses the physical differences between the pair—Merriman stands 6-foot-4 and weighs nearly 280 pounds, while Tila is just 4-foot-11. Tila Tequila is seeking $1.5 million in punitive damages.
